AI Visibility Index · Immigration Law

Hong Kong firms: who AI recommends,
and who's invisible.

We put the questions a Hong Kong client actually asks to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and recorded which of 95 firms each engine names. Only 8 consistently appear - the rest are invisible in the channel clients increasingly start with.

How AI builds an answer

An AI answer is built from 6 layers. Most firms cover 1.

When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity answer a client's question, the response is assembled from six technical inputs. No single marketing discipline covers them all - which is why 71% of firms rarely surface.
